Answer 1

Answer: D. 14;10

Explanation: The answer is D. 14;10 because a date to the right on a number line is older. This means that the first number has to be larger than the second number, and only D has this.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. 14; 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A timeline is a visual tool used to organize information from the oldest date to the most recent one; this information is included from left to right. According to this, if the timeline includes goals the first goal would be the one that will be achieved in the shortest time or the one that is closest in the future, for example, a goal that you expect to achieve in one month, while the last goal is the one that will take more time, for example, a goal you expect to achieve in five years.

Therefore a goal that takes more time is placed to the right of one that takes less time; this means, on a timeline, a goal that will be achieved in 14 years will be to the right of one that will be achieved in 10 years.
